Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (10-ounce) package chopped frozen spinach
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 small red bell pepper, 1/4 chopped, 1/4 cut into thin strips, for garnish
2 ounces prosciutto (about 3 to 4 slices), cut into ribbons
Coarse salt
Black pepper
1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs - eyeball it
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano - eyeball it
2 pound eye round roast, strings cut off
Re-sealable plastic bag

Steps:

  • Defrost spinach in microwave. Wrap in clean kitchen towel and wring chopped spinach dry.
  • Place a large skillet on the stove over medium high heat. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil-to hot skillet. Add garlic to oil. Add onion and red pepper, cook 1 minute. Lower heat to medium. Add the prosciutto and the spinach. Season with salt and pepper. Add bread crumbs and cheese to spinach. Turn off heat. Let stuffing cool.
  • To create the cavity for the stuffing, use a long sharp knife (like a boning knife), and cut a 1 to 2-inch hole through the center of the roast making a lengthwise slit. Turn the meat around and cut another slit in the same spot so that your knife completes the cavity. Insert a wooden spoon into the cavity to make sure the hole is even and goes all the way through.
  • Put the cooled filling in a re-sealable plastic bag and snip a hole in the corner of the bag. Pipe the filling into the cavity. You may need to push it along with your fingers to make sure that it goes all the way through.
  • Preheat nonstick skillet over high heat. Cut the roast into 6 even slices, being careful to keep the stuffing in each slice. Add 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to the pan. Season the steaks with salt and pepper and sear in hot, nonstick skillet, 2 minutes on first side. Flip the steaks and sear for an additional 2 minutes then lower the heat to medium-high and cook until done (about 3 to 4 more minutes). Garnish with thinly sliced red pepper.

This is a delicious flank steak. The stuffing makes it much more filling, but there's never any left over! Can also be cooked in the microwave. Just cover and cook at medium setting (50 per cent) in a microwave-safe dish for 30 minutes, rotating dish halfway through cooking. Serve with sauce from the pan.

SPINACH-STUFFED FLANK STEAK

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen leaf spinach, thawed
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup grated Asiago cheese
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 small flank steak (1 pound)
1 teaspoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside. Place spinach in a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  • In a medium bowl, combine spinach, parsley, cheese, capers, vinegar, garlic, and red-pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper; toss to combine. Cut and open steak.
  • Cut several 12-inch pieces of kitchen twine; space evenly underneath steak. Spread spinach mixture down center of meat (see opposite). Roll steak over mixture, pressing firmly to compact the filling as much as possible; tie twine to secure roll. Cut roll in half crosswise. Place halves, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet; rub with oil, and season with salt and pepper.
  • Broil until browned, 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare; let rest, loosely covered with foil, 10 minutes. Remove string, and slice steak into 1/2-inch rounds.

Tips:

  • To ensure the steak cooks evenly, tenderize it before stuffing and rolling. Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to pound the steak until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Use a flavorful filling for the steak. The spinach, feta, and sun-dried tomato filling in this recipe is a great option, but you can also try other fillings, such as mushrooms and Swiss cheese, or ham and cheese.
  • Roll the steak tightly to keep the filling from spilling out. Use toothpicks or kitchen twine to secure the steak closed.
  • Sear the steak in a hot skillet before baking it. This will help to brown the steak and lock in the juices.
  • Bake the steak until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the steak should be 145 degrees Fahrenheit for medium-rare or 160 degrees Fahrenheit for medium.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the steak, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Spinach feta stuffed flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its tender steak, flavorful filling, and crispy crust, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook flank steak, give this recipe a try - you won't be disappointed!
